TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa women's soccer team took on the Lynn Fighting Knights Wednesday night at Pepin Stadium and emerged victoriously by a score of 3-1.
The Spartan offense was led by some unfamiliar faces in Miranda Gonzalez, who notched her first goal of the season, and Gabby Scirica, who tallied her third goal of the year. Also tallying a goal for the Spartans was senior Cici Gonzalez, who registered her seventh goal of the season.
The first half was dominated by UT as they made the most of their opportunities posting a shots on goal percentage of 1.000. Tampa went into the half with leading 1-nil, registering the lone goal was Miranda Gonzalez, who took a pass from Scirica about 10 yards out and placed it far post flying by Knights goalkeeper at the 13-minute mark.
The second half was dominated by the Spartans as they picked up the tempo and played more aggressive to extend their lead. UT notched two second-half goals thanks to Cici Gonzalez and Scirica who ruined any hopes of a Lynn comeback.
Following the victory, UT improves to 7-2-1 on the year and 3-1 in conference play. Tampa returns to action on Friday as they travel for a regional matchup against Valdosta State. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. Live stats and broadcast will be available for fans to follow all the action via TampaSpartans.TV.
